The Art of Racing in the Rain

I really expected to like this book, but wasn't prepared for the dark parts in the middle so that may have colored my reading. The novel approach of having the dog, Enzo, narrate his own story and use his environment and experiences with his racing owner really worked for me. It was “believable” because it did only use his own experience and understanding of what was going on. The owner goes through some very rough experiences and the dog comments and supports his family to the best of his abilities. If I had been ready for some of the trials, I probably would have enjoyed it more, but I would definitely read more by this author.
